     Presentation Expectations
     Multimedia presentations should engage the intended audience through graphics, diagrams, photos, and text used in a concise manner. Speaker notes should round out the content material.
     —- “Content”: details for each topic required in assignment –
     —- “Speaker notes” : this is where the details and data should be
     —- “Text” : large enough for audience to read / bulleted points / legible fonts
     —- “Audience Engagement”: good, due to a balance of visual elements – too many ‘bells and whistles’ can be distracting but people are engaged by photos and graphics!
     ___ Images should be compelling and create interest. Use charts, diagrams, images of people, etc.
     __ Additional Media: Music, voice overs, videos and animations can add to a presentation if not overdone.
